The compound contains a six-coordinated copper(II) center, which is surround by four N atoms of two phen ligands (Cu-N distances in the range of 1.997(2)～2.225(2)(A)), one sulfate O atom (Cu-O = 2.0037(17) (A)) and one water O atom (Cu-O(5w) = 2.719(2) (A)) in a distorted octahedral geometry. Extensive hydrogen-bonding interactions are involved in water molecules, ligated sulfate anions and fumaric acid molecules. In addition, π-π interactions via aromatic nitrogen-containing ligands are also discussed. The combination of non-covalent interactions leads to the formation of a 3-D network structure.     

Hexaaquacobalt(II) and hexaaquacadmium(II) 4-nitro-2,3,5,6-tetraoxopyridinates [M(H2O)6](C5HN2O6)2 · 2H2O (M = Co and Cd): Synthesis, structures, and properties

The complexes [Cd(H₂O)₆](C₅HN₂O₆)₂ · 2H₂O (I) and [Co(H₂O)₆](C₅HN₂O₆)₂ · 2H₂O (II) were obtained in the crystalline state by reactions of cobalt chloride and cadmium chloride with ammonium 4-nitro-2,3,5,6-tetraoxopyridinate, (NH₄)₂ · (C₅HO₆N₂)₂.

Abstract

The trietheylaluminum based ferrocenylalane (η⁵?C₅H₅)Fe[η⁵?C₅H₄Al₂(C₂H₅)₄Cl] was prepared from the reaction of triethylaluminum with chloromercuriferrocene in toluene and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group P 1 with unit cell dimensions a = 9.353(3) Å, b = 10.281(7) Å, c = 11.599(9) Å, α = 79.64(7)°, β = 69.41(6)°, γ = 84.33(4)°, and Z = 2 for D_c = 1.27 g cm^?3. Full-matrix least-squares refinement has led to a final R factor of 0.068 based on 1866 independent observed reflections. The two diethylaluminum units are bridged by a chlorine atom and one carbon atom of a cyclopentadienyl group, thus forming an Al-Cl-Al-C ring. The four-membered ring is planar to within 0.02 Å. The Al-Cl distances are 2.404(4) Å and 2.266(5) Å. The Al-Cl-Al angle is 78.9(1)° while the Al-C-Al angle is 91.3(4)°. No significant aluminum-iron interaction is observed (Al… Fe = 3.137(4) Å).

A novel complex [Ni(H₂O)₄(TO)₂](NO₃)₂·2H₂O (TO = 1,2,4-triazole-5-one) was synthesized and structurally characterized by X-ray crystal diffraction analysis.

Magnetic Properties of (C5H6N)5[Fe13O4F24(OCH3)12] · CH3OH · 4H2O

The static magnetic susceptibility of Fe(III) complex [Fe₁₃O₄F₂₄(OCH₃)₁₂]^5– was measured in the temperature range 2–300 K. The structure of the complex consists of four triangular Fe₃ fragments interacting with a central Fe atom. By disregarding weak exchange interactions through F bridges, an analytical solution of the exchange Hamiltonian was obtained with Nf 1.3 × 10¹⁰ levels. This made it possible to perform quantitative interpretation of the temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility. The obtained exchange parameters of the best approximation are –2J ₁ = 43 cm^–1, –2J ₂ 30 cm^–1. The ratio J ₂/J ₁ 0.70 suggests that the Fe₁₃ ground state has the spin of the ground state 23/2 or 15/2.

New 1D and 2D metal oxygen connectivities in Cu(II) succinato and glutarato coordination polymers: [Cu3(H2O)2(OH)2(C4H4O4)2] · 4H2O, [Cu4(H2O)2(OH)4(C4H4O4)2] · 5H2O and [Cu5(OH)6(C5H6O4)2] · 4H2O

Two Cu(II) hydroxo succinates [Cu₃(H₂O)₂(OH)₂(C₄H₄O₄)₂]?·?4H₂O (1) and [Cu₄(H₂O)₂(OH)₄(C₄H₄O₄)₂]?·?5H₂O (2) and one Cu(II) hydroxo glutarate [Cu₅(OH)₆(C₅H₆O₄)₂]?·?4H₂O (3) have been prepared and structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction methods. They feature 1D and 2D copper oxygen connectivity of elongated {CuO₆} octahedra in “4?+?1?+?1” and “4?+?2” coordination geometries. Within 1, linear trimers of three edge-sharing {CuO₆} octahedra are connected into copper oxygen chains, which are bridged by the anti conformational succinate anions to generate 2D layers with mono terminally coordinating gauche succinate anions on both sides. The layers are assembled into a 3D framework by interlayer hydrogen bonds with lattice H₂O molecules distributed in channels. Different from 1, the principal building units in 2 are linear tetramers of four edge-sharing {CuO₆} octahedra. The tetramers are condensed into copper oxygen chains and the succinate anions interlink them into a 3D framework with triangular channels filled by lattice H₂O molecules. The {CuO₆} octahedra in 3 are edge-shared to form unprecedented 2D inorganic layers with mono terminally coordinating glutarate anions on both sides. Interlayer hydrogen bonding interactions are responsible for supramolecular assembly of the layers into a 3D framework with lattice H₂O molecules in the channels. The inorganic layers in 3 can be described as hexagonal close packing of oxygen atoms with the Cu atoms in the octahedral cavities. The title compounds were further characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectra and thermal analyses.

Synthesis and crystal structure of (H3O)2{(Na2(OH)CB[5])2[HV4O12]}Cl · 14H2O

The compound (H₃O)₂{(Na₂(OH)CB[5])₂[HV₄O₁₂]}Cl · 14H₂O is synthesized by heating (120°C) of a mixture of sodium vanadate, cucurbit[5]uril (CB[5]), rubidium chloride, and water in a sealed ampule.
